Chapter 161

There were already many people mourning in the Marquis' Mansion, and Lin Yuan's crying quickly attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing that the biological daughter of the Lin family actually knelt down in front of the adopted daughter and cried, everyone whispered to each other for a while.

A close relative immediately stepped forward and scolded, "Qiao Nian, you have been a hot-tempered person since childhood. It's okay to bully Yuan'er on weekdays, but today, your grandmother is watching from heaven!"

Just because Qiao Nian has been a hot-tempered person since childhood, everyone thinks that Qiao Nian bullied Lin Yuan.

Ha, it's really ridiculous!

Qiao Nian's face was still calm, only the bloodshot eyes were surging with hatred.

She stared at Lin Yuan and said coldly, "Did you hear it? Grandma is watching!"

It was Lin Yuan who killed my grandmother. Why did the murderer come to see my grandmother off? !

Lin Yuan's heart trembled. She naturally heard it.

She was afraid too!

I'm afraid that at this moment, the old lady is standing in a corner and staring at her!

But...

She is the legitimate daughter of this marquis's mansion. If she doesn't appear in the old lady's mourning hall, what will outsiders say about her?

So, even if she is afraid, she must come.

Even if the pain in her chest is severe, even if she can't hold on for long, even if she will faint in the end, she must faint in the old lady's mourning hall!

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's body began to tremble slightly, and the tearing pain from the wound in her chest made her pale face look even more pitiful.

"Sister, I know that I have only been with my grandmother for three years, and my relationship with my grandmother is far less deep than yours, but I am my grandmother's granddaughter after all, so please let me see her off!"

The three words "granddaughter" seemed to be deliberately emphasized.

After hearing this, the others nodded, "That's right, Lin Yuan is the granddaughter of the old lady. You are an adopted daughter, why do you stop her?"

"You are really rebellious. How can you, an adopted daughter, be so ignorant in such an important occasion today?"

Qiao Nian didn't take the comments of others to heart at all, but, Lin Yuan wanted to enter the old lady's mourning hall today?

Dream on!

A trace of hatred flashed across his eyes, and Qiao Nian immediately raised his voice and said, "Lin Yuan, you pissed off your grandmother to death!"

When these words came out, the people who came to mourn were so shocked that they were speechless for a while.

The old lady was actually pissed off to death by Lin Yuan?

Lin Yuan didn't expect Qiao Nian to say it in public.

But even if this was said without any evidence, no one would believe it, unless his parents and brother stood up to help Qiao Nian prove it.

But right now, Dad is too sad and still sleeping in his room. Mom is in the mourning hall and may not be able to hear the conversation here. Even if she hears it, she will never help Qiao Nian.

And brother...

Lin Yuan caught a glimpse of a tall figure walking towards her quickly.

She knew that brother would protect her.

Sure enough.

Lin Ye, who was not far away, heard this and rushed over and protected Lin Yuan. He glanced at Qiao Nian with a bit of displeasure, and frowned, "Don't talk nonsense!"

He promised his grandmother that he would never hurt Qiao Nian again in the future.

But he couldn't watch Qiao Nian hurt Yuan'er.

If people knew that grandma was angry to death by Yuan'er, what would happen to Yuan'er's reputation?

How would people outside look at her in the future?

With such a big unfilial crime, would Yuan'er still live?

The words of the eldest son of the Lin family immediately dispelled everyone's doubts.

Yes, it must be this adopted daughter who talked nonsense and threw dirty water on Lin Yuan!

Accusations came one after another.

Qiao Nian turned a deaf ear to it.

She didn't even look at Lin Yuan again, her eyes were fixed on Lin Ye, "Grandma doesn't want to see her."

After that, she turned and went to the mourning hall.

The death of her grandmother made her look like a walking corpse with her heart and liver dug out. Except for the empty pain in her chest, she really couldn't feel anything else.

She didn't want to get entangled with them so much. Anyway, she had broken off the relationship. Now, she just wanted to send her grandmother off for the last time.

If Lin Ye could still make sense, he would not let Lin Yuan enter the mourning hall today.

If he couldn't make sense, she would just beat him out in a while!

Looking at Qiao Nian's lifeless back, Lin Ye's heart couldn't help but ache.

But when he heard the person in his arms sobbing, he came back to his senses and looked at Lin Yuan, frowning, "Yuan'er, you are still injured, go back and rest first."

He lowered his voice very low, for fear that someone would hear him and ask Lin Yuan how she got injured.

Then, the fact that Lin Yuan had angered her grandmother to death could not be covered up.

But Lin Yuan was anxious, and grabbed Lin Ye's arm, tears in her eyes, "Brother..."

She shook her head slightly, wanting to tell Lin Ye that she couldn't leave.

She had to go to the mourning hall, she had to kneel, kneel beside Mrs. Lin, so that others could see her, the legitimate daughter of the Lin family.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ye frowned more tightly, and his tone became a little lower, "Your body is important."

Although he said so, Lin Yuan could clearly hear that Lin Ye was not simply concerned about her injury at the moment.

He was more concerned about what Qiao Nian said just now.

Grandmother doesn't want to see her!

Lin Yuan still didn't give up, holding onto Lin Ye's arm tightly with both hands.

But Lin Ye was determined, and called out to the maid beside him, "Why don't you send your young lady back to rest quickly?"

His tone was filled with undeniable majesty.

This was the first time that Lin Ye showed such an appearance in front of Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan's heart froze, and he finally realized that it was impossible for him to enter the mourning hall today.

At that moment, he slowly stood up with the help of the maid, but he deliberately pretended that his legs were weak and staggered.

I just thought that when outsiders saw her like this, they might guess that she didn't send her grandmother off because she was in poor health.

But she also knew in her heart that more people would still guess that it was because of Qiao Nian's words just now, wondering whether she really made her grandmother angry to death.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan only felt that the wound on her chest hurt more and more.

Tears kept falling.

No, she couldn't just give up...

After Lin Yuan left, Xiao Heng came over.

Looking at the figure being helped away, Xiao Heng could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly, "Why is Yuan'er injured?"

Only someone with a chest injury would walk with a slight stoop like that.

Lin Ye glanced at the crowd that had dispersed, and then lowered his voice and said, "Nian Nian almost killed her yesterday."

Hearing this, Xiao Heng's eyes suddenly darkened. Thinking about what Qiao Nian just said, he couldn't help but ask again, "So, is the old lady really..."

"Of course not!" Before Xiao Heng could finish asking, Lin Ye interrupted hastily, "Yuan'er is so kind, how could she do something like that? Don't you know who she is even after you've been with her for three years? She is your fiancée!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ye realized that his tone was too impatient, and that he felt a little out of place.

Seeing Xiao Heng's deep eyes that seemed to understand everything, Lin Ye couldn't help but feel guilty. He ignored Xiao Heng and walked towards the mourning hall.

But Xiao Heng slowly turned his head and looked at Lin Yuan, who was gradually walking away.

The gloomy expression becomes more and more gloomy...
